Then after the play is over, I would consider tossing R1 for unsportsmanlike conduct. Have to see it, but if she lowers her shoulder or makes an obvious attempt to cream F2, then she's gone (once the play is finished).
Separate question for the group: could F2 also be guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct and tossed as well?

I'm not tossing F2 just for committing obstruction. I've already got a book-rule penalty for that. Now, if F2 turns/gets up and then goes after the runner who just leveled her - yeah, now I have 2 to toss.
edited to fix damage by fat fingers.
btw, if I see a lowered shoulder or some other offensive move by the runner in preparing for the crash, I'm going to also see that as interference and not allow the run - in addition to USC.
